USBDumper – utility that silently copies the contents of an inserted USB drive

http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/08/usbdumper_1.html

USBDumper (article is in French; here’s the software) is a cute little utility that silently copies the contents of an inserted USB drive onto the PC. The idea is that you install this piece of software on your computer, or on a public PC, and then you collect the files — some of them personal and confidential — from anyone who plugs their USB drive into that computer. (This blog post talks about a version that downloads a disk image, allowing someone to recover deleted files as well.)

No big deal to anyone who worries about computer security for a living, but probably a rude shock to salespeople, conference presenters, file sharers, and many others who regularly plug their USB drives into strange PCs.

Gmail cryptography plugin

http://4work.pl/wordpress/category/web20/

FreeEnigma brings cryptography to webmail, with an ingenious set of free and open browser plug-ins that work with Yahoo, Gmail, and others. The plugins implement a version of GPG (the free/open version of Pretty Good Privacy) and scramble and de-scramble the text in your webmail before you send it and after you receive it, reducing the amount of information that webmail providers have on your communications. This is long overdue, as webmail and other hosted mail solutions are a ticking bomb, just waiting for a hacker, spook or copper to come a-knockin’, there to get a look at your private communications.

FairUse4WM is a WM/DRM removal program

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=114916

FairUse4WM is a WM/DRM removal program. It´s a GUI version of drmdbg that supports individualization version .3930 and some Windows Media Player 11 versions.

Basic requirements

   1. Only works on individualized DRM file
   2. Requires Windows Media Player 10 or Windows Media Player 11. Won´t work on Windows Media Player 9.

The program´s functioning can be verified with "Demo" DRM files from ezdrm.com, as well as those from other Microsoft Solution partners.

This program is ONLY designed and intended to enable fair-use rights to PURCHASED media.

    * While I haven´t been able to support license expiration/rental detection, please don´t use this to abuse rental license
    * This code does NOT allow import of KID/SID pairs to preclude its use for piracy

Note that some Windows Media Player installations will have multiple ECC key-pairs, so you will likely have to "Extract Keys" using multiple licensed files. If you find a file that doesn´t convert, try extracting keys wth it. Once your whole set of keys is extracted, you will no longer need to run WM per file.

avi.NET – convert VOB DVD SVCD and VCD to AVI Conversion

http://www.clonead.co.uk/

AVI movie files are both popular and potentially excellent quality for their size.

With the introduction of home DVD players that play DivX AVI´s, their creation and use will only become more popular. avi.NET, along with other AVI conversion programs, require the correct type of VOB file. What we desire is a ready processed VOB file, not a RAW VOB, in other words you need to have used rip.NET or DVD Decrypter in IFO mode and have ripped the correct program chain.

Do not use DVD Decrypter´s ´Stream Processing´ option!

avi.NET MUST have the XviD Video Codec v1.1 or above and/or the DivX Video Codec v6.0.3 or above installed prior to using avi.NET.

avi.NET will allow you to load in your ripped VOB file (remember to have ripped correctly), select your desired options, and convert to AVI. All AVI´s made using avi.NET are SAP friendly, whether DivX or XviD codec used (both DivX 6 and DivX HE supported). Obviously they´ll play just fine on your PC too. I´ll now go into more detail about the usage and various options in avi.NET.

avi.NET will accept both MPEG1 or MPEG2 files for input, which includes DVD, SVCD and VCD. Upon loading a file, avi.NET will invoke DGIndex (included) to ´index´ the input file and give us the information needed for us to proceed. When our file has finished indexing you´ll see the movie start to play/preview. Just remember, you´ll hear the audio being played too, it´s just there to make sure you have the correct language selected or if the audio needs changing so don´t worry too much if its out-of-sync.

http://www.xequte.com/other/index.html#outposted

SiteUp monitors your web sites

http://www.xequte.com/other/index.html#outposted

SiteUp monitors your web sites and warns you when any become unreachable (e.g. when a server crashes). Because it checks page content it can even detect when the server is OK, but a site or page is unavailable. There is no limit to the number of sites that can be monitored, including secure sites, and the checking frequency can be anywhere between once a minute and once a day. When a site goes down the system tray icon will change to an animated alarm and optionally you are displayed a warning message. When a site becomes available again you can view a log to determine how long the site has been down.

OutPosted, Web Site Monitoring and Delivery Software

http://www.xequte.com/other/

Give OutPosted a list of your favorite sites and whenever changes are detected the site is e-mailed to you. Unlike similar software, OutPosted does not send a link to the site, or a lame "Notification of Change" message, but the actual web page, fully formatted, as an email message. We all have a list of web sites that are important to us; sites for the software we use, news sites, blogs, etc. While some of these sites change frequently, others remain static for weeks at a time. Visiting all of these sites just to see what’s new would take ages, so OutPosted does all of the work for you.

KaKeeware Application Monitor 1.21 

http://www.kakeeware.com/i_kam.php

KaKeeware Application Monitor is a very small API monitor that allows the user to monitor the APIs called by the given application. KAM supports 2378 different APIs as for now.

KAM works as an API spy that may help the developers and localization engineers to find the bugs in the release versions of the software. It can be also used by malware analysts to check which APIs are used by the sample they analyse.

Since v1.04, KAM can rerieve object names (filenames, registry keys) and shows them on UI instead of handles, making the listing more readable. 1.10 shows more information about monitored APIs. 1.20 added groups to APIs window and added support for command line for monitored program. 1.21 hopefully fixes the problem with some XP versions.
